One problem with Amazon.com, Inc.'s plans are restrictions it may face from its rivals and legislators. It's unclear how fully-featured the checkings accounts would be - is this just another PayPal service, or a full checking account with access to bill payments and the worldwide banking system? The companies together employ more than 1.1 million workers.

Whether it's logistics, healthcare, or finance, Amazon's answer to inefficiencies in the marketplace is just to do the same thing, but cheaper. This includes buying up Whole Foods a year ago and recent plans to offer its own shipping service, which would reduce its need for United Parcel Service, Inc.

Amazon already has a small business lending arm, but a move for retail bank accounts would mark a new front in its expansion efforts.
